So sorry to hear this! Best of luck in getting it back. I hope that it works out. When a friend of mine had a high end guitar stolen, she contacted all of the guitar stores and pawn shops in about 4 counties and it did show up when the person who stole it tried to sell it to a local dealer. It is worth getting the word out there. She also contacted the luthier so he would be aware in case they contacted him directly. And of course, she contacted the police. She did get her guitar back. Again - best of luck and let us know what happens.
Best, Jayne

What a terrible first post on the AGF! So sorry to read this! Anybody who would steal a guitar is a true lowlife. I hope and pray as I type this that it will be located and returned in good shape. (Welcome to the AGF - hope you soon have good news to report.)

If the guitar was the only item stolen the thief knew you owned the guitar and also knows its value. It may not show up for awhile, and it may not even show up in Louisiana. Or who knows. Thieves usually are lazy and stupid.

+1 on the thief likely knowing you and that guitar. Typical B&E thieves don't steal instruments as they are too easy to trace. Hope you get it back!

As others said contact local guitar shops and pawn shops in the area. Provide description and serial number. Also maybe try contacting Olsen, in case anyone tries contacting him for more info about the guitar.

Wouldn't you want to post a picture of the guitar and serial number? That way anybody who googled for more information would know that the guitar was stolen.
Also, there is a site out there called http://www.stolenguitarregistry.com/

Sorry to hear about this getting stolen!! It seems like the type of instrument that would be hard to sell with out raising some red flags so hopefully you'll get it back. I keep my serial numbers written down on all my guitars for this purpose because most of them would stick out like a sore thumb if some one tried to sell them in any official capacity.
I had a cheaper electric stolen from my church years ago and the fella put an add in the news paper and a police officer called about it and went and arrested the thief and I got my guitar back. It was a $550 Ibanez at the time. Now I have several expensive instruments like a Ryan Nightingale.
